Description

Newly revised translation (CW 14) – Rudolf Steiner’s four mystery dramas are powerful portrayals of the complex laws of reincarnation and karma. They transport us into a landscape of the human soul and spirit, where suprasensory beings are active. – Through the perception of these hidden worlds, we are given the opportunity to understand the struggles we face in attempting to apply spiritual knowledge to our everyday lives and relationships. – Written between 1910 and 1913 during periods of intense inner and outer work, these dramas are powerful testimonies to Steiner’s artistic creativity. By manifesting soul and spirit forms on a stage, they foreshadow a dramatic art for the future. – THE FOUR PLAYS: The Portal of Initiation: A Rosicrucian Mystery, through Rudolf Steiner (1910) – The Trial of the Soul: A Life Tableau in Dramatic Scenes (1911) – The Guardian of the Threshold: Soul Events in Dramatic Scenes (1912) – The Souls’ Awakening: Soul and Spirit Events in Dramatic Scenes (1913)
